‘In summary, the proposed annex would fail to comply with Policies PS2 and H8 of the Swansea Local Development Plan.
PS2 – The submitted ground level details indicate the ground level being reduced by up to 2m and as such significant material removal and re-profiling will occur, and new retaining walls constructed. No detail pertaining to the retaining walls (either technical structural detail or visual detail) is provided and as such it is not possible to offer any appraisal of note in this regard. As indicated above, retaining structures are prevalent features within this part of the headland (for obvious reasons). However, in the absence of further details, the full visual impact of the proposal along this important are of coastline cannot be fully considered.
H8 – The proposed annex building would be sited along, and from part of the western site boundary orientated eastwards towards the coast. The annexe would be low lying and nestled into the western embankment finished with a sedum room with the exposed elevations timber clad, all of which could contribute towards minimising the visual impact of the building. However, with a footprint of some 87sqm, the building cannot be considered as being subservient to the host property, rather, it would dominate the plot and be at odds the character and appearance of the surrounding built form.’

Ref. No: 2020/2316/FUL | Received: Wed 11 Nov 2020 | Validated: Tue 17 Nov 2020 | Status: APPROVED
‘In conclusion, having regard to all material planning considerations, including the provisions of the Human Rights Act, it is considered that the proposal represents an acceptable form of development. The proposed development does not cause a significant adverse impact on the privacy or residential amenity of the adjoining neighbours. Furthermore, the proposed development would not have a harmful impact upon the character and appearance of the streetscene or the wider Gower AONB. In addition, the proposal is not considered to have a significant adverse effect on the resilience of European protected habitats and species in accordance with Policy ER 8. Therefore, the development complies with Policies ER 8, PS2 and ER4 of the Swansea Local Development Plan, the Design Guide for Householder Development (2008) and Gower AONB Design Guide (2011). Approval is therefore recommended.’
